I understand the title to mean as extras from the world, not necessarily a sequel. And it may sound strange, but I like the idea of revisiting this world in a simpler, lighter way, especially after having thought "Watership Down" was brilliant. I may someday read this, but now I Meytal Radzinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805413335735169073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-68528418874193876452009-10-14T13:08:52.798-04:002009-10-14T13:08:52.798-04:00I saw this title when I was searching for WD in ou...I saw this title when I was searching for WD in our library's online catalog.

I was dumbfounded when I discoverd it was an adventure story about rabbits.<br /><br />Jenny- So many times I feel that an author's first novel is their very best.

I thought it was some navy war-thriller.
